The classic Chinese comfort dish,it's believed that fried rice (Chao Fan) originated in the city of Yangzhou in eastern Jiangsu province.Made with barbecued pork,shrimp and spring onions,Yangzhou Fried Rice is still the standard by which all other fried rice dishes are judged.But you don't need to follow a special recipe to enjoy fried rice - it's a great way to use up leftovers.
This basic fried rice recipe makes a nice alternative to steamed rice as a side dish,or you can turn it into a main meal by adding meat/seafood and vegetables.(If you are adding other ingredients,increase the number of eggs to three).
